Odemwingie and his fiancée, Sarah, had initially fixed the wedding for May 19, the date of the Champions League final and one week after the close of the Premier League, but his would-be father-in-law insisted he would not attend if Manchester City survived to the end of the competition.
"We wanted to get married the week after the season ends but when we fixed the date, Manchester City were still in the Champions League and Sarah's dad, Mike, who is a big fan, said he's never coming if they're in the final, which is on that Saturday," Odemwingie told guardian.co.uk.
"When he was saying it, we were laughing at the table. And then Sarah looked at me and said: 'He's not joking.' I was still laughing and she said: 'I'm serious.' So because of him we had to have it two weeks later. It was too late to change when Manchester City went out of the Champions League. And Sarah has something in her head that once a date is fixed, it has to be done then. So we left it."
Osazie also spoke of a fan who had the face of Osazie tatoo'ed on his leg;
"There was a guy who came to the training ground, he looked so bright and it was maybe two months after the game," says Odemwingie. "He showed me a tattoo on his leg with my face and me holding up three fingers. I couldn't say anything. I was shocked, positively shocked that it meant so much that he could go and do that. I said to Youssouf Mulumbu: 'Youss, do you know what I just saw? I saw a tattoo of my face on someone's leg because of that Wolves game!'
